Offline Printing
This section explains how to prepare your printer for offline
printing, use the data entry keys, and enter data. With offline
printing, you enter batch data from the keypad and print batches.
You can enter numbers, letters, and a variety of symbols
(including punctuation and international characters) from the
keypad. International characters are available by pressing P
and code numbers. See Appendix A for more information. You
can switch between character and numeric mode at any time by
pressing |. You must send the format to the printer first. You
can send several offline formats to the printer. After downloading
the format, select Batch Entry from the Main menu. Press E.
Select the format and press E. After entering the batch data,
press E. The batch prints. You can also select Repeat Batch
from the Main menu to print the batch. See "Entering a Batch" for
more information.
Entering Numbers
You must be in numeric mode to enter numbers. If a caret
appears in the upper right corner of the printer display, press |
to remove. If no caret appears in the upper right corner, you are
ready to enter numbers.
To enter numeric data, press the alphanumeric key that shows the
number you want. The screen displays the number, and the
cursor moves to the next position in the field. This is also how
you enter a period (.), comma (,), dollar sign ($) or pound sign
(#). You can switch back to character mode at any time by
pressing |. Each time you press this key, the mode switches
from one mode to the other.
